Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. There are only 5 or 6 lines to edit. For what it's worth, here are my lines... set TBIBase=I:\TeraByte_TBI_Backups set TBIName=C set TBIParms=/b /uy /d:w0@0x1,0xC5 /v /hash set TBIMaxFullCnt=3 set TBIMaxDiffCnt=14 set TBIDifParms=/uy /v
Thanks, Brian. I'll have a look at it. I have always liked the Reflect purge feature. This will basically do the same thing, I think.
I'll have a look. Also. I have always found it difficult making scheduled differential backups with IFW, so I have always made full.
It appears that the purge feature on Page 176 only works on time rather than specified number of backups.
This is what I get for TBIParms using the "Show Command" button as suggested in the readme. /wait /b /d:w0 /f:
I have this in my Task Scheduler Arguments. /min /wait /b /uy /um /d:w0 /f: Edit: So, using the example in the readme. Would this backup my 3 partitions on my operating system drive? set TBIParms=/b /d:w0@0x1,0x3 /v
That will backup two partitions. Can you post your two "Show Command" lines for a full and a diff backup and I'll let you know what the "Set" lines should be? Post the entire lines. Click Show Command. Save to file, OK. Then you can Copy/Paste. Edit.... I only need your Full Backup Show Command line. The diff Show Command isn't needed.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\imagew64.exe" /wait /b /d:w0 /f:"D:\System_Backup\Image_for_Windows\Backup-w0-$~YYYY$-$~MM$-$~DD$-$~HHMM$"
I like to backup the entire drive. Not just a single partition. As you can see on this computer, there are 3 partitions. I read in the manual that you can run the purge after a successful backup rather than the default before backup. You put minus (-) sign before the number. But that was for number of days. Not for number of backup. Will minus (-) also work for number of backups?
Thanks. Try these... set TBIBase=D:\System_Backup\Image_for_Windows set TBIName=Entire set TBIParms=/b /uy /d:w0 /hash set TBIDifParms=/uy The count lines are your choice. Omit Purge for the time being. We can hide the Command Window and IFW GUI after you get it working. Edit... /v removed
Your full backup will be named something like this... Entire_2019-11-24-0756__FULL.TBI Diff could be... Entire_2019-11-24-0756_DIFF_2019-12-02-1745.TBI
I'll just be a little while, Brian. I am installing some new drives on one of my computers. Then I'll use what you posted above. This is what I copied from the readme. That's why I thought set TBIParms=/b /d:w0@0x1,0x3 /v would backup 3 partitions. I'm backing some stuff up now.
I have run it from the Task Scheduler, and there is no GUI. But I know why. I also made a desktop shortcut, but it didn't work, so I'll have to re-visit that.
